In cash terms the typical MK16 home went from £52,000 in 1995 to £339,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 200%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 18% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the MK16 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2002 (+22.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2019 (−9.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 34% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £478,800 against £165,000 for a flat, 2.9 times the price.

How many homes change hands in MK16
Sales per year, counted
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
Over the last twelve months of data, 209 sales completed in MK16. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 469 sales a year before the financial crisis and 233 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
What homes rent for around MK16
The local authority for MK16 is Milton Keynes, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,336 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £972 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,080, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Milton Keynes
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £339,000 median sold price, £1,336 a month is £16,032 a year, a gross yield of 4.7%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the MK area. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
